Leather Upholstery – everything you need to know

Nothing ages your car’s interior quite like worn and stained seat fabric. But with most cars driven on a daily basis, the risk of spilled coffee, mud stains and bad odours are simply unavoidable. So is there a way to maintain that pristine ‘new car’ feeling, long after you’ve driven off the forecourt? Here’s how leather upholstery can do the job.

What’s so great about leather upholstery?
Many Cars come with a cloth interior as standard. But while this provides a reasonable level of comfort, fabric interiors can become marked and tired-looking – even with the best of intentions and the meanest of cleaning tools.

Stains can be difficult if not impossible to remove from cloth interiors. If you’ve got children or pets, you’re probably fighting a constant battle against spills, crumbs, odours and snags. And, if you’re an allergy sufferer, you’ll already know that cloth interiors can harbour dust.

There are no two ways about it – cloth interiors can sometimes be difficult, if not impossible, to keep in tip-top condition. But thankfully, there is an alternative.

By contrast, leather upholstery is a dream for car owners. Why?

It’s hard-wearing and durable

It’s easy to clean and stain-resistant

It’s luxuriously comfortable

It doesn’t harbour bad smells or irritating dust

It boosts your car’s resale value

You get that ‘new car’ feeling, year after year
